It is necessary to detect the tilt angle for control or monitoring of various systems such as ship, aircraft recreation facilities etc as well as bridge or building systems. However the electronic liquid charge type tilt sensor which is one of typical tilt sensor has many problems. Those are remarkably slow response time and limited mounting condition because or liquid viscosity coefficient and inertia etc. In this study we propose a tilt angle instrumentation method using piezoelectricity acceleration sensor. The method can he applied on moving mount We verified the validity of the method through experiment.

The purpose of this paper is real time tilt servo control of the holographic data storage system. Holographic data storage device is a next generation data storage device with high storage density, high transfer rate and short access time. This device is very sensitive to a disturbance due to the enormous storage density. As to the recording material changed disc type, the media continuously vibrates as the disc rotates. When disc rotates, deviation, eccentricity and unbalance disturbance are occurred. This disturbances cause disc tilt, finally reference beam does not illuminates to correct incidence angle. Therefore real time tilt servo control is essential. In this paper, the algorithm is proposed to make real time tilt detection in angle multiplexing of the holographic data storage system with an additional servo beam and the experiments are performed.

Social activities of the elderly have been increasing as our society progresses toward an aging society. As their activities increase, so does the occurrence of falls that could lead to fractures. Falls are serious health hazards to the elderly. Therefore, development of a device that can detect fall accidents and prevent fracture is essential. In this study, we developed a portable fall detection system for the fracture prevention system of the elderly. The device is intended to detect a fall and activate a second device such as an air bag deployment system that can prevent fracture. The fall detection device contains a 3-axis acceleration sensor and two 2-axis tilt sensors. We measured acceleration and tilt angle of body during fall and activities of daily(ADL) living using the fall detection device that is attached on the subjects'. Moving mattress which is actuated by a pneumatic system was used in fall experiments and it could provide forced falls. Sensor data during fall and ADL were sent to computer and filtered with low-pass filter. The developed fall detection device was successful in detecting a fall about 0.1 second before a severe impact to occur and detecting the direction of the fall to provide enough time and information for the fracture preventive device to be activated. The fall detection device was also able to differentiate fall from ADL such as walking, sitting down, standing up, lying down, and running.

When a camera installed on a vehicle is used, estimation of the camera pose including tilt, roll, and pan angle with respect to the world coordinate system is important to associate camera coordinates with world coordinates. Previous approaches using huge calibration patterns have the disadvantage that the calibration patterns are costly to make and install. And, previous approaches exploiting multiple vanishing points detected in a single image are not suitable for automotive applications as a scene where multiple vanishing points can be captured by a front camera is hard to find in our daily environment. This paper proposes a camera pose estimation method. It collects multiple images of lane markings while changing the horizontal angle with respect to the markings. One vanishing point, the cross point of the left and right lane marking, is detected in each image, and vanishing line is estimated based on the detected vanishing points. Finally, camera pose is estimated from the vanishing line. The proposed method is based on the fact that planar motion does not change the vanishing line of the plane and the normal vector of the plane can be estimated by the vanishing line. Experiments with large and small tilt and roll angle show that the proposed method outputs accurate estimation results respectively. It is verified by checking the lane markings are up right in the bird's eye view image when the pan angle is compensated.

Angle sensors based on the principle of autocollimation, which are usually called autocollimators, can accurately measure small tilt angles of a light-reflecting flat surface. This paper describes a prototype micro-angle sensor that is based on the laser autocollimation technique. The new angle sensor is compact and consists of a laser diode as the light source and a quadrant photodiode as a position-sensing device. Because of its concise design, the microangle sensor facilitates dynamic measurements of the angular error motions of a precision stage without influencing the original dynamic properties of the stage. This is because the sensor only requires a small extra target mirror to be mounted on the stage. The sensitivity of the angle detection is independent of the focal length of the objective lens; therefore, an objective lens with a relatively short focal length is employed to reduce the size of the device. The micro-angle sensor uses a single lens for the both the laser collimation and focusing, which distinguishes it from the conventional laser autocollimation method that has separate collimate and objective lenses. The new micro-angle sensor has dimensions of $15.1\times22.0\times14.0mm$ and its resolution is better than 0.1 arc-second The optical design and performance of this micro-angle sensor were verified by experimental results.

탄성되튐검출(Elastic Recoil Detection)법에 의한 박막시료의 수소 정량은 빔전류 측정의 신뢰성을 전제로 유기물 필름을 정량 비교체로 사용하여 이루어진다. 그러나 탄성되튐검출법에서 일반적으로 사용되는 편향각(tilt angle)인 $75^{\circ}$에서는 시편에 조사되는 일차 이온빔의 조사량을 정확하게 측정하기 어렵다. 시편의 편향각을 바꿔가며 탄성산란 신호를 비교하면 편향각이 커질수록 단위 조사량 당 산란신호는 감소하며 또한 시편의 표면 물질에 따라 이온빔전류 적산의 효율이 달라진다. 이러한 빔전류 적산과정의 오류를 제거하여 정량의 신뢰성을 제고하는 방법으로 되튐스펙트럼과 동시에 측정한 산란스펙트럼을 이용하여 빔 조사량을 결정하였다. 산란스펙트럼에 의한 조사량 결정법은 수 10%에 이르는 전류적산과정의 오차요인을 근본적으로 제거하여 되튐반응에 의한 수소정량의 신뢰성을 향상시켰다. 수소정량의 비교체로 사용해 왔던 폴리이미드 필름과 수소이온주입 시료, 그리고 카본웨이퍼를 대상으로 시험분석하고 기존의 전류적산에 의한 직접정량법과 비교하였다.

In this paper, we studied for the real-time azimuthal measurement of HMD(Head Mounted Display) using the feature points detection to control the tele-operated vision system on the mobile robot. To give the sense of presence to the tele-operator, we used a HMD to display the remote scene, measured the rotation angle of the HMD on a real time basis, and transmitted the measured rotation angles to the mobile robot controller to synchronize the pan-tilt angles of remote camera with the HMD. In this paper, we suggest an algorithm for the real-time estimation of the HMD rotation angles using feature points extraction from pc-camera image.

Target strength (TS) information is an important parameter that estimates the detection, distribution, and abundance of Aurelia aurita. In order to investigate the biological TS of jellyfish, some factors such as size (bell diameter), tilt angle, pulsation, and symbion should be known. In the ex situ TS measurements, the tilt angles and pulsation from synchronized swimming behavior of four live A. aurita (bell diameters in the air: 54.2 ~ 94.2 mm) were measured with the acoustic data at 70 kHz. The reduced target strength (RTS) of A. aurita was found to change ranged from 13.4 ~ 16.5 dB according to the incidence angles from $-30^{\circ}$ to $24^{\circ}$. When the change rate of bell diameter in the water was 0.2, the TS value showed a 7.2 dB change. These results could be utilized as an important data to understand the acoustic characteristic scattering of A. aurita.

In this study, a postural change detection sensor module (PCDSM) was developed to detect postural changes in activities of daily living (ADL) and falls. The PCDSM consists of eight mercury sensors that measure angle variations in $360^{\circ}$ rotation and $90^{\circ}$ tilting. From the preliminary study, the output characteristics of the PCDSM were confirmed with the angle variations of rotational motion and a tilting table. Three experiments were conducted to test rotational motion, postural changes, and falling and lying. The results confirmed that the PCDSM could effectively detect postural changes, movement patterns, and falls or non-falls.

This paper reports the development of a mobile robot for patrol using a single laser range finder. A Laser range finder is useful for outdoor environment regardless of illumination change or various weather conditions. In this paper we combined the motion control of the mobile robot and the algorithm for detecting the outdoor environment. For obstacle avoidance, we adopted the Vector Field Histogram algorithm. A laser range finder is mounted on the mobile robot and looking down the road with a small tilt angle. We propose an algorithm for detecting the surface of the road. The outdoor patrol robot platform is equipped with a DGPS system, a gyro-compass sensor, and a laser range finder. The proposed obstacle avoidance and road detection algorithms were experimentally tested in success.
